Church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción de Erustes

Monument · Erustes, Torrijos, Toledo

Parish church that preserves notable wooden ceilings of medieval tradition, reflecting the importance of the place in the 14th century. Built in the 15th century in Mudéjar style, it stands out for its slender rectangular bell tower with four stages, built in Toledan brickwork with courses of river cobbles and brick, and for the rich coffered ceilings covering its three naves, with polychrome decoration on corbels and tie-beams preserved up to the middle of the central nave. The fourth stage of the tower, the most ornate, shows a band of seven lobed horseshoe arches. Declared a historic-artistic monument in 1975 and restored in the 2010s, it today holds the status of Bien de Interés Cultural (Spain's highest level of heritage protection).
